I When Job Hunting Gets Tiresome, Go to Central Library Few Empty Chairs and Shelves Are Depleted, Librarians Say. That literary gem. “lost two golden boon, set with sixty diamond minutes’’ was a work of art of past era if the reading space at the Central Library Is any evidence on the case. If you happen to need a particular book with such necessity that yon undertake a special trip to the library to procure it, and then try to find a peaceful, restful corner behind one of the columns where the librarian will fail to discover your snoozes, you will find that you are absolutely out of luck. Seats up front as well as In the rear are all “sold out,” and you can take your choice between reading on one foot while the other rests or in bearing your book homeward. The line forms promptly at 9 a. m.. when the massive iron doors swing open Under the manipulation of the Janitor. The librarians say that there has been an Increased demand for books for local reading at the library along with a scarcity of Jobs. The rainy days when hunting a Job is unpleasant is the time when the library has a “full house.” The shelves In the reading room are depleted and every chair is occupied. The time is past when the library withe exclusive possession of the idle educated. Right up close to the desk sits a man who is studying some phase of engineering with the idea that he may perfect an invention which he has conceived. THREE TTPES OF PATRONS. “There are three types of patrons at the library," said the librarian. "Os course, you can make other classifications but these describe them the best. There is the employed reader, the unemployed and the one who changes his Job. They all choose their books for distinctly different purposes. Among the professional men we have different types, too. The physician breezes in and out. taking his book along with him to read at spare moments. The artist strolls In end spends half a day reading different items." Just then a woman riddled up in the most unobtrusive manner possible and asked if they had a book *? directions in “letter writing.” Having been supplied she retreated to a table and drew out a pencil and a piece of paper. “11l \just wager anything that she is going to apply for a certain Job and she wishes to-find out how to write a letter that will land her,” remarked the librarian, reflectively. “-We have had half a dozen come in here and ask for a book like that. Ton know they are awfully afraid that we will find ont sometiling about their business, and a lot of times if we could know just what they want we conld help them much better. As it is we give them books a lot of times that do not contain what they wish and thus they lose a lot of time.” Among other secrets of the library which the communicative librarian imparted were would-be poets who asked for “poetical” dictionaries so as to find rhyming words; the individuals who were compiling the history of airplanes and the persons who were planning to favor the world with a complete report of the life of the cinema. “We have them all here,” she continued. “the salesman, the manager, the author and the clerk. From indications based upon the popular demand for i books it would seem that everybody is turning into advertising men and salesmen. Whether it is because there is more money in it, is something that we can’t tell. ASKS FOR BOOK WHICH AIDS LITTLE “The other day a man came In and asked for n book upon credit accounts, telling us thßt on account of the hard times It is almost Impossible to collect credit accounts. He said that he wished 1 to find out some psychological way In ' which to part the people from their money.” But credit accounts have nothing for i popularity on a book with the title , “Business Methods and Managing” if the number of times that it has been taken , out Is any Indication of its favoritism , among the men who work to make others I work. The library also has regular patrons, acme of whom have regular hours and j tome of whom are Irregular. A number j of these are superannuated men and j women who don't have anything to do but read, and read they do; for they j can be found tucked away in some corner of the large library at any hour that you wish to page them. Tp in the reading room, where the 1 periodicals are kept, an honest-to goodness dub has been organized, and It is ; a silent one, too. Its members knowing ; that “many a man has gained a reputa t'on of wisdom by saying nothing.” Here. | tiie Jokes are passed around the circle, ! and all choice tit-bits of literature make j the rounds of the society. Oftentimes a woman appears on the < scene with her husband In tow. She j settles him In a eorner with a book | with the. result that he too becomes a patron of the rending room. Some say j that the library will soon be a hot com- j petltor for the poolroom. At any rate, the quickened heart-beats which take ; place when yon open a page to the worn- ! out yet ever new ‘‘once upon a time” i are not felt when yon make a point at the pool table. New Hearing Granted in Petersburg Case Special to The Times. PETERSBURG, Ind., Dec. 11.—Mrs. Hattie Gnlllck has been granted anew hearing, In the court here. In her claim against the estate of the late H. R. Sny- i der. vice president of the First National | Bank of this city, for $25,000. for services as housekeeper and nurse to the banker j during his twenty-three years' residence ; In the Guiltek home. Snyder was a brother-in-law to Mrs. ' Gnlllck and had drawn up a will leaving her $20,000 in consideration of her services to him, and an additional ftO.OOO to Mrs. John Grim, a daughter cf Mrs. Gullick. Before Snyder had signed the will he was stricken with apoplexy nnd died suddenly. He left a fortune of 530.000. Last October a Jury in the Daviess f’ircnir Court gave Mrs. Gullick a verdict of $17,300, but the heirs asked for anew hearing, saying that the Judgment wre excessive. vjnm Metropolitan Van devil le.

: are now, but Just the same they here the old, old message of love. From the days of Grecian art beauty and devotion to it havo been Inseparable. This year it la being proved again by the pupils of the art department of Sbortrldge High School. Under the direction of Miss Marie Todd, the thirty art students havo dealgned and painted gome 2,500 Christmas cards which will be sold at 10 cents apiece. The proceeds t>f the sale will go toward the art department which is given no appropriation by the Indianapolis school board. Every year at Christmas time for some ten years these students or their older brothers and alstora have contributed their time during claaa hours and after in making these cards, to the end that they may be able to pursue their studies In their beloved art. If you slip Into the artroom, which Is teeming with the works of some artist who dreams of stirring the world, you will find cuddled over the cards In the far corner of the room half a dosen Individuals, who, oblivious to the late aft ernoon, paint industriously on the cards which will make It possible for them to have more paint and brushes. With the skill of a veteran artist they mix the well-known cheerful reds and greens that symbolise Christmas. With confidence they take up another card ana quickly disperse the colors until, presto, n hand-painted card is ready for inspection. Perhaps one takes advantage of his or her originality and tries a now experiment on a card. Sometimes it is a color combination and sometimes It is an enlargement upon the Idea already laid out. This year the cards which are being made are of two designs. One has been designed by Miss Todd and the other by Mar}' Louise Hornsdsy, Sl3O College avenue, who is a freshman at the high school. Miss Hornaday’s drawing, which shows remarkable ability for a girl of her age, reproduces an old-fashioned lady carrying a number of Christmas packages. She also carries a Christmas wreath from which long streamers float. Miss Todd sayß that the students voluntarily conduct the work on the Christmas cards. “It was very much against my will that we did it this year,” she said, “but we have no other way of making our expenses unless we give a party or make cards. So you might almost say that my pupils took matters in their own hands this year.” “Tou can have no idea bow enthusiastio they are over it,” she declared. “Thera are a number in the claeees who really show exceptional talent.” Murderer, Twice Reprieved, Hanged CANON CITT, Colo..

The youth tries to explain away a web of circumstantial appearances which have enmeshed him, and the Judge, but not the bride, believes him. In order to discredit circumstantial evidence and show the uncertainty of crediting it, 'Judge Murray proceeds to tell the pair of a series of events in which he was similarly enmeshed and though innocent, as events did prove, was unable for a long time to persuade his over-fond wife that he was the victim of circumstances. -I- -|- -I--THOMAB BOSS APPEARS IN MOVIK AT RKUJRNT.
